Investigating the energy flexibility of Dutch office buildings on single building level and building cluster level

Demand Response is used to reduce the mismatch between electricity generation by renewable energy sources and electricity demand. Buildings are large energy consumers and can play an important role in matching generation and demand. Energy flexibility is defined as the ability of a building to manage its generation and demand according to local climate conditions, user needs and grid requirements. This article focuses on the thermal mass of buildings as a source of energy flexibility. The investigation is based on a characterization assessment method on single building level and on aggregator... Mehr ...
